BARBER CABINET.

Toall whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GABRIEL Tons, a citizen of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and a resident of Montevideo, in the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, South America, have invented a new and Improved Barbers Cabinet, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to a barbers cabinet, and more particularly to an antiseptic device for sterilizing razors and for sterilizing the Wiping paper used in shaving.

An object of my invention is to provide a barbers cabinet so arranged and constructed as to contain a volatile antiseptic substance to sterilize the razors when not in use, and to sterilize the wiping paper as it is withdrawn from the cabinet.

A further object of my invention is to provide a wiping and stropping surface on the outside of said cabinet.

I attain the above outlined objects by constructing a cabinet having two compartments, one compartment containing a roll of paper adapted to be fed therefrom over a volatilizing antiseptic bath, and the other compartment adapted to receive razors when not in use, and disposed about the outside of the cabinet is a rubber covering provided with a projection for the purpose of stropping the razor or wiping off the soap.

\Vith these and other objects in view, as will more fully hereinafter appear, the present invention consists in certain novel details of construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed outin the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the outside of a preferred form of cabinet; Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken across the body of the cabinet; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bottom compartment; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 4:t of Fig. 2.

A base plate 1 has centrally disposed in the upper side thereof an antiseptic receiv ing compartment 2, upon which base plate is positioned a cylindrical/ casing forming an antiseptic compartment 3 supported by Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 14, 1911.

vthe upper side of the base plate 1. llllClIlCiIl compartment 3 comprises a hollow scum-cylindrical portion 6 integral with the Patented May 14, 1912. Serial No. 654,613.

means of upwardly and inwardly trapezoidal formed supports 4 fitted within upwardly extending flanges 5 extending about The cysupports 4:. Each end 7 of the lower semicylindrical portion 6 is slotted, as shown at 8, in each of which slots is disposed a threaded bolt 9 extending outwardly from the casing, this boltbeing engaged by a nut '10 carried in a housing 11 extending from the upper central portion of each of the ends 7. By rotating the housing 11, it will be drawn toward the ends 7, thereby telescop 'ing a boss'12 extending from each half of the ends, thus holding the upper cylindrical portion 18 in firm engagement with the lower portion 6, but at the same time aflording a means for removing said upper portion to change the roll inserted within this cylindrical body, as hereinafter described. Extending inwardly from each of the ends 7 is a bracket 14 constituting a bearing for a paper carrying drum 15, which drum preferably'comprises two telescoping sections 16 and 17 upon the outer ends of each of which is a facing plate 18 integral with a stud 19 journaled in each of the brackets 14. Mounted upon the drum 15 is a roll of paper 20. One of the meeting edges of the upper and lower halves of the cylindrical body 3 is recessed. forming a slit 21, through which recess is drawn the end 22 of the roll of paper 20 Extending downward from the lower half of the portion 6 is a receptacle 23 adapted to contain a volatile antiseptic solution. Communication is afforded between the receptacle 23 and the compartment 8 by means of apertures 24.

It will be seen that by this construction the vaporized antiseptic solution will permeate the cylinder in which the roll of paper is disposed and will impregnate the paper as it passes out through the slot 22, thereby presenting a thoroughly sterilized wiping paper to receive the soap lather and at the same time to sterilize the razor as the soap lather is wiped from the same. Disposed about the upper portion of the cylinder 3 and fastened thereto by any suitable means is a rubber covering 27 provided with a projecting part 25 which may be used for stropping the razor or wiping the soap ofi the razor on to the end of the paper covering'said projecting part. It is to be understood that the same vaporizing antiseptic solution may be placed in the receiving compartment 2, so as to sterilize the razors 26 disposed on the base plate 1, as shown in Fig. 3.

Many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof.

It is intended that all matters contained herein, in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings, shall be inter preted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claims is merely intended to cover all the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention, which as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween, and that materials, sizes and relativities of parts are non-essential, except as called for in the claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a barbers cabinet, a sterilizing cylindrical easing forming a compartment, a roll of paper revolubly mounted in said casing, and a receptacle positioned below and opening into said casing adapted to contain a volatilizing solution, for sterilizing said paper asit is unwound from said roll.

2. In a barbers cabinet, a sterilizing casing forming a compartment having a slit extending therethrough, a roll of paper revolubly mounted in said casing, a waterproof covering for said casing adjacent said slit, said waterproof covering adapted to afford a stropping surface for a razor, and adapted to receive the paper as it is unwound from said cylinder to afford a wiping surface for a razor.

3. In a barbers cabinet, a base having a compartmentadapted to receive an antiseptic solution, a cylindrical casing mounted on said base and positioned above the same to afford a razor storing compartment be tween said base and said cylindrical casing, a roll of paper revolubly mounted in said cylindrical casing, said cylindrical casing having a slot therein through which said paper is unrolled, and a receptacle depending from the lower part of said cylindrical casing and adapted to contain an antiseptic solution, said cylindrical casing having apertures affording a communicatlon between sald antiseptlc solution containing receptacleand said cylindrical casing, whereby the vaporized antiseptic solution will permeate the razor storing compartment and the paper carrying cylinder.

4. A barbers cabinet comprising a base plate having an antiseptic receiving compartment in the upper side thereof, a support removably mounted on said base plate, and a cylindrical casing carried by said support and having openings communicating with the interior of said support, said casing adapted to contain a roll of paper, and said plate adapted to receive razors within said support.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
